"Hidden"
Never let 'em see you...
And so I hid
Behind baggy clothes
Bald-headed thugs
Guns
Drugs
Disappeared behind shades of blue
Hid behind Gorilla cuts
High-knee socks and locks
Solo pants
Tagged up walls
In the gleam of 13 inch rims
White stripes on vogues
Hid
In the pride
Which broke dreams
Because being a player was cool
What vatos like us do
Play or get played
Blinded
By this simple rule
Left her for the hommies
For the down-ass crew
Left her kisses and hugs
The true love which bloomed
Despite my erratic behavior
Nights I didn't come through
Left her crying in the night
Drowning in booze
Chillin' against mi ranflu
Catchin' another ruckus groove
So that my game
Would continue to move
Hypnotized
Tricked
Schooled
To believe what I said was true
Even if I didn't see her again
For many, many moons
Many nights
Curled up and spooned
I hid
Because I'd been told
To never let them see me cry
So I walked around
Full of false pride
Till I ended up behind bars
And she...
...She said goodbye
Because game ain't the same
When you can't offer a rose
On Valentine's
